CORRECTION: 600 Lightyears, NOT 600,000,000. The Milkyway is only 100,000-150,000 Lightyears across. This is IN our galaxy, NOT in Andromeda.

"NASA just discovered the most habitable planet since Earth"
So NASA were the ones that discovered Earth?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd7ac0ecad046464000052Jason MerrimanMon, 05 Dec 2011 21:15:28 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd7ac0ecad046464000052

what we are seeing is old information. Within the past couple of years, the wealthy elite have already set up tax havens on Kepler 22b, which are of course untouchable by US Authorties. They're using Branson's secret space freight division to ship the money and gold there, with the help of a wormhole on the far side of the moon (which was created by CERN technology - another little pet project of the elites) go ahead, prove me wrong - I dare ya!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd56a3ecad04872b00002dAnimalAbusersMon, 05 Dec 2011 18:41:23 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd56a3ecad04872b00002d

We don't have the technology to actually go there. Our current technology would take millions of years to send a probe or any other type of craft there.
And if we broadcast a message in its direction, it will take 600 years to get there and 600 years to get a response back to us.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd42e369bedd6f7e000018TammieMon, 05 Dec 2011 17:17:07 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd42e369bedd6f7e000018

Perhaps the good tax-paying citizens of Kepler-22b can buy our bonds and bail *us* out after we have finished bailing out everyone we possibly can here on Earth. Let's kick the can down the cosmic road!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd3149ecad043f68000014CosmonautMon, 05 Dec 2011 16:02:01 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd3149ecad043f68000014

They have a guy on full time looking through a telescope.
He's actually Mr. Kepler.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd2d736bb3f79c6e00000cJJMon, 05 Dec 2011 15:45:39 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd2d736bb3f79c6e00000c

WOW! Only 600 light years away, eh? Maybe, we need an earth like planet a little closer than that. How about, this one; <a href="http://youtu.be/BMTP4hGCv3k" target="_blank">http://youtu.be/BMTP4hGCv3k</a>http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd25c769bedd273c000051PeterUKMon, 05 Dec 2011 15:12:55 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd25c769bedd273c000051
It's 600 light years away. Not 600 million light years. Still pretty much impossible to reach though. With some highly speculative methods, a tenth of the speed of light is possibly attainable by future spacecraft. But even at that speed, it would take 6000 years to reach the planet. And it would take another 6000 years for the spacecraft to return to earth. Alternatively, the spacecraft could remain in orbit and send signals back at the speed of light for some pictures.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd250d6bb3f7b65b000067IronyMon, 05 Dec 2011 15:09:49 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd250d6bb3f7b65b000067
Oh wait, yet another story about NASA finding life elsewhere, but only providing us with "artist's representations" and "computer graphics".
Does anyone actually work at NASA?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd23a7eab8ea3240000013MBS TraderMon, 05 Dec 2011 15:03:51 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd23a7eab8ea3240000013

Back in the day I sold $125 million worth of mortgage back securities to those douchebags at par. Those guys would buy anything....

Why waste the energy? There are plenty of other planets in our own solar system suitable for that purpose.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd20ececad042c42000047Uh...Mon, 05 Dec 2011 14:52:12 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd20ececad042c42000047
They know the orbital period and diameter, I think Kepler fills in the density. True it may be less than earth.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd1e5c69bedd093c00000abadbobMon, 05 Dec 2011 14:41:16 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd1e5c69bedd093c00000a

You'd just have to take a few weeks to get used to it.
Just like coming back from an extended stay on the ISS.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd1992eab8ea852200002cDogeyeMon, 05 Dec 2011 14:20:50 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd1992eab8ea852200002c
It's 600 light years away. We're not going there. Who cares about launching / landing rockets? Or cloud cities? We're just hoping to see some sign of life through our instruments.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd197d69bedd752700002dAaron RMon, 05 Dec 2011 14:20:29 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd197d69bedd752700002d

I find the talk about a planet's mass to not be very helpful.
It's the surface gravity that matters for us. A planet with a different mass and different density can have about the same surface gravity. Aside form that, it does need to be rocky, because we could set up cloud cities, but we could do that on several planets in our solar system as well. The difficulty of launching and landing rockets will also be different between two planets of different mass, same surface gravity.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd18b66bb3f7a14c00000bUh...Mon, 05 Dec 2011 14:17:10 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4edd18b66bb3f7a14c00000b
